The title derives from a Biblical quote, which beautifully expresses the perplexity of our condition: namely that we have to live, even though none of the reference points we get our bearings from really makes complete sense. I have used those images and ideas which interest me most - European history, cycling, physics, sitting in cafes - as metaphors for the ephemeral nature of this world, and also as metaphors for each other. I enjoy playing with the contradictions and confusions this generates, but also with the linkages which (to me at any rate) make some kind of sense of it all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47577114869911,"sku":"9781471039515","price":1556.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781471039515.webp?v=1774902579","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/through-a-glass-darkly-9781471039515","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
